    *Why?* Why don't you want to use the officially supplied build system? What is the actual problem you try to solve? And have you tried what [the `README` file](https://github.com/google/glog/blob/master/README) tells you? – Some programmer dude Oct 30 '17 at 04:57
  • Because I don't have visual studio installed on my windows system to make use of cmake. Basically i want to use glog on windows without using cmake or visual studio. So i thought of using mingw on linux to generate glog dll and create a exe in linux, which can be run on windows. Am I missing something, or i am thinking in wrong way. By the way, glog works excellently in my linux system. But i want the same to work on windows also.... – user3863946 Oct 30 '17 at 05:12
  • You can [generate](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-generators.7.html) a [MinGW Makefile](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/generator/MinGW%20Makefiles.html) as well. – Some programmer dude Oct 30 '17 at 05:21
  • Hey, Thanks for your help. I will work on it. – user3863946 Oct 30 '17 at 05:28
  • I get the following error. May I know, what to do now. D:\glog-0.3.5\build>cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -- Check for working C compiler: C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe -- broken CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.10/Modu "C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program. It fails with the following output: Change Dir: D:/glog-0.3.5/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp Run Build Command:"C:/MinGW/bin/mingw32-make.exe" "cmTC_5628f/fast" C:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../libmingwex.a(glob.o):(.text+0x8b8): undefined reference to `__chkstk_ms' – user3863946 Oct 30 '17 at 11:09

I couldn't able to compile glog using MinGW. So I have compiled it using CMake & Visual Studio and the issue is resolved.
